Clarke Schmidt did his job in the fifth. Why are you trying to steal outs with him in the sixth? If you can bring in Trivino down 2, why can’t you bring him in when it’s tied? Why does this almost always happen with Boone? It’s wash and repeat damn near all the time.

The Yankees gave Aroldis Chapman way too many chances and he took advantage of them. He shouldn’t have been on this team (along with Germán) for a few years now. He legitimately comes across as a terrible human being. Forget his trash performance. He just seems like a bad guy.

I’m happy for the younger Yankees fans too. They have their Jeter now. They have their Captain. Obviously we all love Judge, but when you are a certain age you can attach yourself to a player and say he’s my guy for my team. Good vibes all the way around.

That is an awful, awful, awful loss. I don’t understand Boone’s bullpen usage with Trivino and Lasagna. I don’t get the shift on Ramirez. Can Holmes not pitch back to back games? IKF was handing out runs. The Yankees had that game and handed it right back.

Look, I love Nestor. I get the competitiveness. I love it. But if they ask you earlier in the inning if you’re ok, you have to be honest immediately. You can’t say you’re fine, give up a three homer, and then leave with an injury. It obviously hurts the team in a big way.

If you play a stopgap guy until one of your prized shortstop prospects is ready, once the prospect gets called up, you should probably play the rookie all September to get him ready for the playoffs. Then you can move the stopgap to third to replace the washed guy playing there.
